i'm selling my pride and joy, my 2006 Belman Albatross and hardcase. These retailed for between $3000-3500 and they aren't made anymore so they are quite a rare gem, i've tried and i can't find one anywhere. It's design is aimed at Les Paul buyers, the same scale neck and hardware etc. I'm selling it regretfully because try as i might, the shorter 24.75" neck doesn't suit my big hands as well as a 25.5" scale neck, so i'm going to get something a bit better suited to my hands, rather than what pleases my eye. I wanted a really high quality guitar at the time and decided to go australian made. It is an awesome beast and sounds great. Pretty much every bit of it is made by Belman.


Features:
-24 ¾" scale length
-Carved Mountain Ash top
-Queensland maple body and neck
-Figured Gidgee Headstock Overlay
-Polished badge logo
-Belman vintage neck pickup and
hot vintage bridge pickup
-Rosewood fretboard
-Binding on neck, body and headstock
-Bridge and tailpiece
-3-way toggle switch
-Volume, volume and tone knobs
-Split coil push pull on tone knob
-Paua Curved Crown inlays
-Kluson style machine heads

Hey man I am aware this topic is rather old but by any chance did you manage to sell off your Belman Albatross? If not i'd be interested to snap it off you.
